(If you are the hardest-core of concrete bando bashers, you might want a heavier frame.)Īs much as I loved the QAV-S, there were a few things I changed to make the JB Edition. It’s also relatively lightweight, but still tough enough for typical freestyle bashing. It hits the sweet spot of being roomy enough to build with ease, without being so big that it compromises flight characteristics. I fell in love with the QAV-S because of the genius way its arms join to the frame, allowing for one-screw arm changes, without putting a weakening screw hole through the center of the arm. In other words, the Nazgul is an incredibly solid 5″ freestyle quad at a really compelling price. But I half-suspect that the arms of the Nazgul V2 are more durable than the Evoque because they don’t have a light-pipe channel down the middle. And the video transmitter goes up to 800 mW - plenty! The frame is a bit bulkier than the Evoque, and it lacks the Evoque’s flashy light pipes.

The FC and ESC are 30mm size instead of the Evoque’s 20mm, which is an upgrade as far as I’m concerned. The motors are iFlight’s Xing-E budget line, which is still excellent. The Nazgul V2 is about $50 less than the Evoque. So imagine my delight when they kept making it! Which was a shame, because the Nazgul was such great price-per-performance value. When iFlight released the Evoque, I assumed the Nazgul V2 would be discontinued. But if you fly concrete bandos and crash on asphalt, this frame might break sooner than you’d prefer. So if you fly mostly in grass and trees, and if you don’t crash a lot, the AOS5 is right up your alley. It’s durable enough, but it’s not exceptionally durable. If the AOS5 frame has a weakness, it’s durability. The main reason is that the AOS5 is more of a stripped-down, pure freestyle machine, while the Evoque has a bit more polish (and flashy LEDs). The electronics of the AOS5 BnF are iFlight’s standard fare, so you might ask why buy the AOS5 instead of the iFlight Evoque. But with the AOS5 BnF, you don’t have to, because Chris Rosser delivers the BnF with his perfect PID tune. The AOS5 frame is designed to have the best possible resonance characteristics, which means you can PID tune them to the limit. Put them together, and you’ve got something truly special. Chris Rosser makes some of the best frames. IFlight makes some of the best bind-n-fly quadcopters. Some people will be willing to pay a premium for that others won’t. This is because Vannystyle is hand-built by technicians in Orlando, Florida, with a custom PID tune designed by Vanover himself, and backed by Rotor Riot’s support. It’s way more expensive than the Nazgul or the Roma, and its specs are similar, or in some cases worse (e.g. The biggest objection some people will have to the Vannystyle is its price. Alex’s motors have all the punch and power that a racing pilot would expect. The no-frills design of the quad keeps weight reasonable and makes for snappy, responsive flight. The Vannystyle frame has 6mm arms for maximum durability and stiffness. He’s known as one of the fastest racing pilots in the world, but he’s also an incredible freestyle pilot. The “Vannystyle” is based on Alex Vanover’s signature frame.
The analog version has a 1600 mW video transmitter, the highest of the bunch. The frame design is my favorite of the three. The GEPRC seems to me like the best option if you’re willing to pay a little bit more. It’s got a tough aluminum front end and a clever split top deck that allows maintenance without removing the HD camera mount. The GEPRC Mark 5 is, at the time of this writing, the most expensive. The analog version has a 1000 mW video transmitter. The V2 version fixed the “arm breaking” problem that the V1 had, but the arms are still relatively thin and may not be as durable as the other two. The Roma V2 is the lightest of the three.
I was most impressed with the Evoque’s flight characteristics, although all three were very good. That’s enough to get the job done, but the Diatone and GEPRC are stronger. If you buy the analog version of the Evoque, it’s got the weakest video transmitter, at 600 mW. It’s got 20 mm-sized FC and ESC, which are usually less durable than 30mm-sized ones on the Diatone and GEPRC, although I haven’t heard any specific complaints about the Evoque blowing up ESC’s. The Evoque has awesome LED light pipes on the side plates and bottoms of the arms. So let’s focus on the things that set them apart. They’re all available in either a DJI FPV version or an analog version. They’ve all got very capable ESC, flight controller, and motors. Frankly, you won’t go wrong with any of them. The iFlight Evoque, Diatone Roma F5 V2, and GEPRC Mark 5 are all extremely closely matched in terms of performance and durability.
